Critical Acclaim

An entertainingly revealing portrait of a remarkable woman...In an era in which social activism is far too often derided, American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs represents a deeply moving examination of the power of a single individual to effect change.

— Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

In trying to find 'revolutionaries' who break the mold, [filmmaker Grace Lee] found an actual one in Grace Lee Boggs.

— Elizabeth Yuan, The Wall Street Journal

Superb...Cinema is full of unlikely heroes, and yet the real-life activist Grace Lee Boggs is more improbable still: a Chinese American black-power radical armed with a doctorate in philosophy.

— Inkoo Kang, Los Angeles Times

In sharing her subject's life achievements, [Lee] raises meaningful questions and keeps them profitably open.
